Chapter 374 He's really angry!
“Big cousin, there were some things I didn’t explain to you clearly before, and that was my fault. The Taihe Restaurant thing was indeed arranged by Aze later. He knew that I was the owner of that restaurant, and as a woman, it was inconvenient for me to show up, so he took it upon himself to renovate it.”
Aze?
When Li Haoran heard Mu Xinnuan call him so affectionately, he felt a little uneasy and empty inside.
Mu Qingxuan didn't think much of it and her eyes lit up immediately. "So my brother-in-law designed all of that? I never knew he had such talent!"
"Ah Xuan, some things are best left unsaid here; you can't mention them to anyone else. Understand?"
Mu Qingxuan nodded. Even her father and mother didn't know about the Taihe Restaurant incident. But her sister had told her, which clearly meant she didn't consider her an outsider. Therefore, she absolutely couldn't hold her sister back.
"Sister, I understand. By the way, Yuan mentioned before that you were helping him manage some businesses, is that true?"
Mu Xin Nuan was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Mu Qing Yuan to tell her even these things. It seemed that he truly respected his older brother, Mu Qing Xuan. That was good, at least in the future, the brothers wouldn't become too estranged and turn into enemies.
Thinking back to her past life, Mu Xin Nuan witnessed Mu Qing Yuan feeding her father poison. She never imagined that in this life, her rebirth would prevent such a tragedy. Although Mu Xin Yao and Aunt Song were still as vicious as ever, things seemed to have changed since Mu Qing Yuan moved out of the backyard.
This kind of change is naturally what Mu Xin Nuan hopes to see.
The pain in his heart, caused by his own son killing him in his past life, must have been even more profound than the physical pain.
Fortunately, Mu Qingyuan is very different in this life compared to his previous life. It is likely that the scene from his previous life will not happen in this life.
"How are A-Yuan's studies lately? You are the older brother, so you must remember to guide him more and not let him run wild."
"I know, sister. He's been doing well in his studies lately. Father even praised him yesterday."
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, then looked up and saw Li Hao Ran's thoughtful gaze. Realizing that she had perhaps neglected her cousin, she asked, "Has my cousin seen me recently, cousin?"
"Yes, she's doing well. Because she's pregnant, her brother-in-law doesn't want her to go out, so she's been staying at home to rest."
"That's good. If I have some free time, I'll go see my older cousin and check her pulse while I'm at it."
"That's wonderful! Your reputation as a divine healer is now practically legendary." Li Haoran chuckled, then added with a hint of worry, "However, Anuan, you are, after all, a woman. Treating women once or twice is fine, but try your best not to treat men anymore. Especially now that the Emperor has betrothed you to Prince Chang Le, you must consider the reputation of the royal family."
"Yes, cousin. Ah Nuan has remembered."
"Actually, there's something else I wanted to tell you today. However, it seems you and Prince Chang Le get along quite well. I..."
Seeing that Li Haoran was speaking somewhat hesitantly, Mu Xinnuan roughly guessed what was going to happen. Could it be that what her cousin was about to say was unfavorable to the Prince of Changle?
"Cousin, there are no outsiders here. If you have something to say, just say it. Why bother?"
Li Haoran gritted his teeth, "I heard that what happened to His Highness the Grandson at Taihe Tower was also the work of Prince Changle, so?"
Mu Xin Nuan's expression softened slightly, and the worry in her eyes seemed to deepen.
It seems that Duanmu Chuze had sensed Duanmu Chen's feelings for him a long time ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have tampered with things at Taihe Restaurant! Was he jealous?
Mu Xin Nuan felt a sense of fullness and warmth in her heart, but the worry on her face did not lessen! After all, the two of them were uncle and nephew! Moreover, Duanmu Chu Ze had truly sided with the Crown Prince. If the two of them were indeed at odds because of her, then she feared that her life would be over!
"Ah Nuan, Ah Nuan!"
Seeing that Mu Xinnuan was absent-minded, as if she was too engrossed in thinking about something, Li Haoran quickly called her twice.
"Oh, cousin, I'm fine. I was just wondering if he has some kind of grudge against His Highness the Grandson? Or is he just teasing him?"
Li Haoran's expression was somewhat solemn. "Actually, I heard it from my father. It's really strange! Originally, it was Prince Chang Le who attacked His Highness the Great, but unexpectedly, it was also Prince Chang Le who stepped in to quell the rumors for His Highness the Great. So, it's hard to understand."
Mu Xin Nuan thought that it was just Duanmu Chu Ze's attack on Duanmu Chen that Li Hao Ran would react this way. It turns out there was another reason! This is quite strange. If you want to trick him, why lend a hand?
Li Haoran couldn't understand it, and Mu Xinnuan naturally understood it even less.
After Mu Xin Nuan left, Mu Qing Xuan accompanied Li Hao Ran to the front yard for a while, asking him to give him some pointers on a few moves before letting him go.
As soon as Mu Xin Nuan returned to Yue Xuan, she began to ponder that Duanmu Chu Ze, who seemed gentle, was actually a cunning and treacherous person! She had already felt this when he was still wearing the silver mask and interacting with her.
Therefore, she did not think that Duanmu Chuze was the kind of person who would like to do things that were thankless and difficult!
They schemed against him first, then stepped in to quell the rumors? This Duanmu Chuze is quite eccentric!
Mu Xin Nuan originally didn't care about these external matters. To put it bluntly, she had no interest in anything that didn't involve her or her family. However, the thought of Duanmu Chen stopping her in the palace made her feel uneasy.
After much deliberation, she still had Chunyu send a message to Duanmu Chuze, telling him that she wanted to see him.
So, when it was time to prepare for dinner, Duanmu Chuze suddenly appeared at the Mu residence, which didn't surprise Mu Xin Nuan at all.
Duanmu Chuze brought an ancient inkstone with him, saying that he had just acquired it and that he brought it to Mu Chang'an because he knew that Mu Chang'an liked to collect such things.
Since we're here, we can't just leave our things behind and go. Alright! Let's have dinner together then.
"Please, Your Highness, this is a ten-year-aged osmanthus wine. It's sweet and delicious, and it won't make you feel drunk," Mu Chang'an said with a smile.
"Thank you very much, Lord Mu. Please!"
Mu Xin Nuan never glanced at Duanmu Chu Ze once from beginning to end.
Duanmu Chuze naturally learned about today's events from Chunyu. Seeing that Mu Xinnuan didn't even give him a glance, he knew that this girl was really angry this time!
